Radio Paradise


While a bit of single malt scotch has been known to occasionally find its way into our studio to aid in getting the creative juices flowing and aid the glass cutter to truly sing across the glass, there often is a missing component- good music.
We don't all have the means to access music easily in our studios so we have usually make due with an old clock radio, or boombox, giving us AM or FM radio along with all their associated ills- incessant chat, bad news and commercials.
Well leave it to Mikey to give you the ideal solution!
Radio Paradise!
A commercial free (really) internet radio station which is easily accessible on your computer, smartphone or tablet (apps available for iphone and android too). The music mix is simply stunning in variety. The signal is excellent, as is the sound quality. Here's a snippet from Wikipedia-

Radio Paradise is a listener-sponsored Internet radio station that identifies itself as an "eclectic online rock radio" station. The channel differs from most FM channels and other Internet stations in that the music played is not limited to a specific genre, instead representing great variety. Radio Paradise plays different styles of pop and rock music, but occasionally other genres from jazz to classical to electronic music and world music. All of the styles are DJ-mixed, often with passages of several tracks played back-to-back (and faded between each other), chosen for their suitability or thematic relevance as opposed purely to random playlisting. Whilst Radio Paradise is a for-profit business, it does not broadcast commercials but is financially supported through donations from listeners. It is known familiarly as "RP".

You deserve to work with good music. Give Radio Paradise a shot!
